McGinn public safety platform focuses on gun crime

Michael McGinn, who has been criticized at times for focusing too much of his mayoral campaign on opposition to the tunnel replacement for the Alaskan Way Viaduct, on Monday released a public safety platform.

“As mayor, I will be committed to making our neighborhoods better places to live, work, and play by funding policies that work and importing ideas that have worked in places that have suffered from the same problems we are facing today,” he said in a statement.

Mallahan’s spokeswoman, Charla Neuman, said McGinn has “established himself as a one issue candidate.”

“His solution to everything, including public safety, is to stop progress on the viaduct replacement solution. We need a mayor who won’t treat public safety as an afterthought and who won’t be distracted by a one-issue mission,” she said.
